The feel this year was much busier overall than the years after the covid restart. I did two party nights so far in 2025 and in both of them the crowds persisted till close, however in most cases the wait times were over stated.

Read it again. I did not say it was arbitrary, I said to guests it appears to be arbitrary.

No one said anything dishonest was happening. Maybe at worst someone could say that they're driving people to more expensive party nights, but it's not like these things sell out as soon as they go on sale. If anything it seems like they are taking longer to sell out. The most plausible...

I'm glad you enjoyed less than 2 hours in Typhoon lagoon. For most people it is not something they can take advantage of. I guess people just like to settle for mediocre.

Each year the schedule is virtually identical to the previous but the sellouts typically take different pattern.

People are still traveling and spending money....just at other places. Disney has NOT helped themselves by continuing to ignore this or offer token promotions that really don't mean much. Things like the following are all flawed approaches: Free dining for kids. AP Room and General discounts...

The goal is to show sell outs for every party night. While it is likely a very defined process, to the guest it appears completely arbitrary. For nights that may not be performing as well, the cutoff number might be adjusted dynamically to accommodate this, which has the added effect of...

Here’s a dirty little secret, add the candy distribution lines and subtract the lightning lane factor, and you get miraculously lower wait times throughout the park, even with it packed to capacity.

Because they get value out of one and not the other. People have money to spend, but they’re not going to just throw their money away at things that don’t offer value.

What? Event Capacity has increased steadily over the years. The only time the park is manageable is in the last 90 minutes of the event, everything prior is like a normal park experience, but with candy. The goal was to sell the park twice during a single day, except for the second round...

Your family and the many many like you are the reason why Disney Parks were DEAD this summer. The notion that it is perfectly normal for summers to be this empty that is being peddled everywhere is a bald faced lie. Families have passed on Disney for the reasons you mentioned and more, and now...

Illuminations?

I'm glad you brought that up. Is there anything "AMAZING" on the horizon? Other than Villains which still sounds conceptual, is there anything coming that will pack the resort? More Bars? Tropical America, Cars, Monsters? ehhh good enough? If they keep raising prices and disincentivizing...

What happens to revenue when guests discover they don't need to buy LL because no one is coming to the parks?

Fantastic. Doubling down on stupid by raising prices. The amount of self-inflicted damage being done to their brand is astonishing and yet they're still all in complete denial.

It's true. You can use the $75-$100 saved to buy a cheap round trip flight on Spirit, then hitchhike from MCO to WDW, tap in, then hitchhike back to MCO, get some sleep in the terminal and then fly back. If you plan it out properly, you may be able to purchase a small French Fry at the...

Everything is fine.

I'll take stuff that never happened for $1000 Alex.

I wonder how much more it will cost and what will be cut?

The new bar makes the lobby appear so much smaller in scale.
